The 070-688 exam is the official exam behind the MCSA: Windows 8 credential from Microsoft. It sits at the Associate level of the Microsoft certification track. It is also associated with MCSA: Windows 8, MCSE: Desktop Infrastructure. The ActualTestsQuiz practice questions on this page map to the same objectives, so you can measure your readiness before you book a seat.
The 070-688 exam contains 40–60 questions and gives you 120 minutes to complete them. That pace leaves little room for getting stuck, so train yourself to flag a hard question, move on, and circle back later. Run at least one full timed session in the ActualTestsQuiz test engine a week before your exam date to check whether your pacing holds under pressure.
You need 700 / 1000 to pass the 070-688 exam, and the official registration fee is $165 USD. A retake means paying that fee again in full, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper option by far. Before scheduling, take a timed ActualTestsQuiz practice test; if you are not scoring comfortably above the passing line, give yourself more study time instead of booking on hope.
